Bad Parenting - Little Kids Dancing

[jlwelch]

Disclaimer: Despite the content, this is NOT a shock thread, but rather a very serious look at what I see is a tremendous problem in the world today.

So the other day I had some free time and was flipping through the channels on tv looking for something to watch. I came across a comedian named "Daniel Tosh". In his show, he presented a video of a bunch of children in Peru dancing dirty and grinding up on each other. The parents must have been filming it and allowing it to happen.

I've noticed that whenever I bring up my moral objections to certain social norms I see around me I am usually greeted with people who will take it further just to offend and desensitize me. I honestly feel like this planet has fallen further and further down that moral slippery slope ever since we've started removing God from our nation's schools. I realize from previous threads that many of you will likely disagree with what you may feel to be a prudish sense of right and wrong, but I don't see how ANYONE can honestly endorse this. If you still do not know what I am talking about, I will post the link below. Again, this aired on Tosh.0 and is probably NSFW so remember to be mature when watching...

Now I want to know from you guys, at what point should we abandon this "live and let live" attitude of morality that seems to be so prevalent in society today? Should we not draw a line at what is and is not acceptable? I for one have to agree with the response this guy gave on YouTube...

Now I want to know what you guys think of all this. To me it is an indication of something much larger. The very fact that these parents thought it would be cute to let them do this and post it on the internet speaks volumes about the moral decay of society to me. What do you guys have to say on the matter?

[Irrelephant]

[Odio]

Oh.

Let's nuke them all. That will fix it.

Especially Africa. Nuke Africa twice.

[RyderOmega]

A "Dance" is a "Dance". I mean, how bad can it be?

Oh, wait, I see it now.

[Piggler]

This is what hip-hop is all about.

Ugh.... I hate your type.
Have not noticed that people have been 'losing their morals' since the end of WWI and your stupid fucking kind keeping saying its the end of the fucking world.
We dont need dumbasses pushing their retarded religious propaganda on children. It ALWAYS turns out for the worse.
Morals aren't based on religion, religion is based on morals.
That, and that was fucking PERU is you haven't noticed, I'm sure that people there are more religious than here, generally.
In any case, who gives a fuck. Some people just suck at parenting. Nothing is going to change that but themselves.

I remember being alive during WWI, I noticed all kinds of things.
It was awesome, noticing things is the best.

You're not thinking about it from the kids' perspective. To us as teenagers or adults, it may seem morally unjustifiable for these children to be doing something that is considered to be a provocative gesture; however, to kids that young, it's nothing more than a dance move. Their minds haven't been corrupted; they're just dancing. Because of their age, they most likely don't know or don't understand why it is that what they're doing is seen as indecent behavior. In other words, they most likely are not thinking about sexuality at all. Thus, I see no reason to be all that worried.

You know, they generally teach the '20s in high school. You even hear of how it was in English class, depending on who you read. So... yeah, like... your argument failed...

I wasn't arguing, fighting only breeds destruction.
I noticed that during WWI.

We're all on a list now for watching that.

The very idea of "losing your morals" may be a fallacy itself in this sense. Just because the moral constructs of a society change doesn't necessarily mean that that change is a regression. So, sexually is becoming more accepted and present in our culture. Is this immoral? Not necessarily, depending on your belief system. So, X has changed into Y. What makes X better than Y? In a lot of instances, there's no evidence for that conclusion that isn't circular logic.

Hahaha, wow. now i realize why i hate children.

The parent should set a good example to their children... maybe the reason why they post their kids on youtube is they just don't care, maybe to them it's purely having fun or something...

[Idocreating]

They're Peruvian, they're poor. They did it because the film crew offered them money they desperatly needed.

If a parent in a First World country let there kid do that? Yeah, creepy as hell. Same with those child beauty pagents.

[MoriChax]

I remember seeing a worse video a few months ago.
Honestly its probably just their culture to dance like bimbos.
